Erm... not sure what the heck that is. An ini file should end in ".ini" and be accessible through Notepad.Windows wants me to down load Truevision Targa (It's a tga file).
Does that sound about right?

BTS should, if anything, run better on your video card than vanilla. There is no reason to worry. If vanilla runs, then so should BTS.Does anyone run BTS with ATI Radeon 3200 HD? I want to upgrade from civ4 but don't want to spend the money if my system can't run it...
Indeed - in fact, many of the video issues with vanilla were fixed in Warlords/BTS, so upgrading to BTS should only improve performance if anything.BTS should, if anything, run better on your video card than vanilla. There is no reason to worry. If vanilla runs, then so should BTS.

Hang on... I just read your original question, and I think you're making this overly complicated. There's no need to tinker around with ".ini" files (or any other files) if you just want to take screenshots. That functionality is already built into the game! Simply press the "Print Screen" key whenever you want to take a screenshot in the game, and it'll automatically save to the Documents/My Games/(the Civ version you are using)/Screenshots folder in JPG format. Then you can do what you like with the images.Where do I find the ".ini" file to allow me to set up screen shots? Been tinkering with it but not having any luck.

A quickie:
Every time a Great Person is born the required GP points for a future GP are increased in all cities.
What happens if several Great People are born on the same turn?
Hmm, I always thought it was the city with the highest number of GP points over the threshold that got the GP? I could be wrong though.They are not. The cities are worked throuhg in order that they were founded (or captured?) and the first one that would create a GP creates it, and the GP points for all remaining cities are increased imidiatly. So when it gets to the next city that would produce one the required points have gone up and it has to produce the igher number.
Welcome to CFC!Have Civ 3 and Civ 4 and find Civ 4 (as a new new player, haven't played either level more than an hour or two in total) flashy enough to keep my interest, even though I'm not quite sure where I'm bound!
I notice there are several "addons" or expansions in 4, whereas my Civ 3 Complete just has them all. Here's the question -- can someone give me an overview of how the Civ 4 available expansions relate or how they are supposed to be approached in playing order and purpose?
How come when you setup a trade route and check all of your cities. It says that it is only coming from thier capitol?
Welcome to CFC!
I'd recommend just starting with Civ 4 and going from there. It's not at all necessary to play the previous versions of Civ before starting on Civ 4, and indeed it will be confusing to do so as each new addition to the Civ series has always been significantly different from the previous one.
As for expansions to Civ 4, there are two: Warlords and Beyond the Sword. You don't need to purchase Warlords though, as all of the additions from that expansion pack are included in the Beyond the Sword expansion pack. I'd highly recommend purchasing Beyond the Sword, as it significantly adds to the experience of Civ 4. There's no need to play Civ 4 before starting on Beyond the Sword, although it may be easier to grasp some of the changes in Beyond the Sword if you have a basic understanding of Civ 4 first.
As dalamb said, you need to install regular Civilization IV before you can install the Beyond the Sword expansion pack. Just like with any game - you need the main game before you can install the expansion packs.Wow, this is good timing. Not knowing which to buy, I got both till I decided. Not knowing what I was buying in Civ 4, of course, may have tripped me up. Am I right in understanding what you said that the original Civ 4, just the standard one, has been replaced by Beyond the Sword? Do I need to buy both and install both? Just install Beyond the Sword and play that one and I'll be getting an updated version of the original?
Sorry, but when I said i was new, I meant new, lol, alas.
